No, the President does not and should not have the power to direct investigations. They are supposed to be a completely independent entity, ******.

He directed the FBI to investigate Kavanaugh at the request of the Ds idiot. Get your head out of your ass.

Brian Higgins also sells out for vague promises which won't result in any changes. Just two "messaging votes" which will never pass the Senate or be signed by the President.

Rep. Fudge sells out for a committee chairmanship. She was the leader candidate opposing Nancy Pelosi to become the next speaker of the house but she had now agreed to drop her candidacy in exchange for a committee chairmanship. This is just more dirty deals and any meaningful change in Washington. If Fusge ever runs for anything again just remember she has no principles.

Not surprising that she'd Fudge on her principles ...

It is his duty to instruct the DoJ to investigate people, even if he doesn't like them.

It is you who wants to give the president the power to abuse the DOJ by ordering it to prosecute poeople he doesn't like

I think this is Kids misguided attempt to point out legislating from the bench. Though of course President isn’t the one who should be legislating either, that is the job of congress. And it’s not just something Obama judges do.

Discouraging "caravans" is not legislating. "Caravans" don't have a right to enter the country illegally. There is already a law regarding that.

Funny how you never accuse Obama appointed judges for believing they are the president.

What reason would I have to accuse the few Obama appointed judges (remember, most judge appointments during the last years of Obama were bloicked by the GOP, on purpose, including one supreme court) of believing they are the president?

Trump doesn't understand that he is not some kind of medieval king with full control over the whole government

So very true

Trump: I cannot imagine anyone else than myself being named Time`s person of the year

Trumps delusio de grandeur strikes again
